    Making Long Term Decisions Instead Of Short Term

    March 10, 2020 by Ashley Mayes Leave a Comment

    When it comes to renovating, it's hard to think about saving and making long term decisions instead of short term decisions. Sometimes, the short term decisions are great and other times, they are aren't. Hear our thoughts all about both of these types of decisions today. 

    How do you paint wrought iron railings

    Listen below or find us on your favorite podcast app: iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, GooglePlay and Overcast 

     

    If you hate the way something looks, there are usually cheap, easy cosmetic updates like paint and adhesive tile you can apply on top. We’ve all been swayed by the “$100 challenge” bathroom update that looks great in photos, but… when is it better to save up, learn some new skills, and do a bigger project?
